New Age Metals Provides a 2026 Go Forward Plan and a summary 2025 Chairman’s Message
Press Release
Rockport, Ontario– New Age Metals Inc. (TSX.V: NAM | OTCQB: NMTLF | FSE: P7J) (“NAM” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce a summary 2025 Chairmans Message and Go-Forward Plan for 2026. In this press release, NAM is also to update shareholders on recent developments in its equity investment in MetalQuest Mining inc (TSXV:MQM).
Chairman and CEO Harry Barr states, “2025 is behind us and was an excellent year. However, we look ahead to 2026 and are extremely excited about the plans for 2026. I want to sincerely thank you our shareholders and interested parties for your continued support of New Age Metals. Over the past year, we delivered steady progress—advancing our diversified portfolio, strengthening our financial position, and expanding our visibility with investors and industry stakeholders through consistent outreach. Just as importantly, 2025 marked the most aggressive project acquisition program in the Company’s history, as we worked to consolidate high-quality opportunities across multiple jurisdictions and commodities.
We intend to continue this acquisition-focused strategy in the year ahead due to the intense need for critical metals, the wild prices of platinum, palladium, gold, silver, copper and the fact we think this is very likely a super cycle on an international scale.
From an investor relations point of view, we are attending the VRIC 2026 conference, the PDAC 2026 and we plan to expand our investor outreach efforts in 2026 and beyond.
Going forward, our acquisition sites not only include North America, but we intend to look at Saudi Arabia, where we have been invited to attend the Future Minerals Forum 2026 (January 13-16), who have the Vision 2030 which aims to become fully sufficient by 2030. We are not only in North America, but we are also looking internationally. This press release highlights our key accomplishments in 2025 and outlines our go-forward plan for 2026. It also provides an update on New Age Metals’ equity position in MetalQuest Mining.”
Chairman and CEO Harry Barr states, “2025 is now behind us and it was an excellent year for New Age Metals. As we look ahead to 2026, we are even more excited about what’s in front of us. On behalf of the Directors and Management, I want to sincerely thank our shareholders and all interested parties for your continued support. Over the past year, we delivered steady progress—advancing our diversified portfolio, strengthening our financial position, and expanding our visibility with investors and industry stakeholders through consistent outreach. Just as importantly, 2025 marked the most aggressive project acquisition program in the Company’s history, as we worked to consolidate high-quality opportunities across multiple jurisdictions and commodities.
During the year, we expanded our Gold-Antimony footprint in Newfoundland and Labrador, added gold and critical metals projects in the Kenora Mining District, and we are currently finalizing additional acquisitions in Northern Ontario’s Ring of Fire region. We are also evaluating larger-scale opportunities in the Platinum Group Metals space across Ontario. In each selected jurisdiction, our focus remains the same: build a meaningful position early and advance it through disciplined, exploration-driven work.
To support this growth, we are finalizing the opening of a new field office in Kenora, which we expect will help service our Southeastern Manitoba Lithium Division, our North-Western Ontario Gold–Critical Metals Division, and our Ontario PGM portfolio. We intend to continue this acquisition-focused strategy in the year ahead, supported by strong fundamentals across critical metals and continued strength in key commodities including platinum, palladium, gold, silver, and copper. From an investor relations perspective, we will be increasing our outreach efforts in 2026 and beyond, including participation at VRIC 2026 and PDAC 2026.
Looking forward, on an international scale, our new acquisition efforts are focusing on a more international scale while also selectively expanding our North American reach. We have been invited to attend Saudi Arabia’s Future Minerals Forum in mid January, where the country’s Vision 2030 strategy is driving significant momentum in the mining sector.
Given recent geopolitical developments and shifting critical-minerals supply dynamics, the Company is also evaluating timely acquisition opportunities in Central and South America as part of its ongoing, acquisition-driven growth strategy.
This press release highlights our key accomplishments in 2025, outlines our go-forward plan for 2026, and provides an update on New Age Metals’ equity position in MetalQuest Mining.”

Financing and Shareholder Alignment
A key milestone in 2025 was the successful completion of our $4 million financing, which provides a strong foundation as we move into 2026. The Company is also pleased to have Eric Sprott participate in the financing. Following his investment, Mr. Sprott now owns approximately 36% of the Company on a partially diluted basis. NAM views this as meaningful validation and long-term alignment with one of the most respected investors in our sector. The Company is proud that, year-to-date, New Age Metals has generated over 350% share price appreciation in 2025, rewarding shareholders for their continued support.
PGM Division (Ontario River Valley + Alaska Genesis)
Our Platinum Group Metals Division remains a cornerstone of New Age Metals. At the River Valley Palladium Project in Ontario, one of the largest undeveloped Palladium Projects in North America, we continued to advance and position our flagship asset for its next stage of development. During the year, we completed important groundwork to support upcoming exploration, including clearing the existing road to our Mustang Project area, covering the lower 4 kilometres of our 16-kilometre strike length, in preparation for the first geophysical program on the property in over 20 years. While we remain disciplined in today’s palladium market, it has been encouraging to see renewed strength emerging across the broader PGM complex. Further announcements regarding our Summer/Fall exploration plans are forthcoming.
